RE: Blue Around The Homestead - Grow Your Own Food and be Less Dependent on Greedy Corporations. Take Back Power from Big AG

in #schoolofminnows6 years ago

we have been harvesting our blueberries for 2 weeks now. we diversified our crop last year and planted a couple of pink lemonade blueberry plants. They add a fun pop of pink to the mix - but really don't taste any different than a typical blueberry. They might be a little bit tarter if any thing. Now just to keep the sheep and goats from eating them all! they make a B line for the blueberry patch anytime we let them out to free forage. They really like to munch on our grapes too - the spoiled turds.

Haha, sounds like you have a wonderful homestead. I have been looking at the pink lemonade blueberry this year, wondering if I should add that variety to my food forest. Maybe my newly developed taste buds can help me taste the difference :)

Thank you for stopping by and commenting.

I say go for it! the pop of color alone is worth it. I would love to hear your opinion on their taste. Like I said - to me they are just a little more tart than your standard blueberry. However, they are the ones the goat and Sheep head to first so they must be good.
